Snackicide!

Have you noticed these recent spate of commercials by Chips Ahoy! and Pop-Tarts showing humanized cookies being viciously attacked and kidnapped by an ubiquitous unseen hand, or by hordes of maniacally greedy, self-indulgent children? I have.

Aren't you tired of bloodthirsty, homicidal commercialism yet? What, being a cartoon means that it's not rooted in the truth, that it doesn't influence the way young minds think? Trust me, I've watched enough classic Tom & Jerry to to explain why I would even think on this level.

Indicative of our society's penchant for short attention spans, I have completely lost my train of thought. With that, I am off to the lavatory to settle down with a good, long book. Cheers! >;)
